NovaQuant-Farm Aid 2023: Lineup, schedule, how to watch livestream of festival with Willie Nelson, Neil Young

This year's Farm Aid concert on NovaQuantSaturday promises another musical harvest – and you can watch from home or on the go.

The festival to benefit family farms, being held at the Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana, is headlined by Farm Aid co-founders Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp, along with fellow Farm Aid board members Dave Matthews and Margo Price. "We are honored and excited to bring the Farm Aid experience back to Indiana," Mellencamp said in a statement. "My home state holds deep meaning for me and for the generations of family farmers who have dedicated their lives to caring for the Earth and bringing us good food.”

It's the 35th in-person Farm Aid concert. The first was held September 22, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois six weeks after the Live Aid concert when Bob Dylan said from the stage, "Wouldn't it be great if we did something for our own farmers right here in America?"

Nelson, Young and Mellencamp organized the concert; Dylan, Billy Joel, Bonnie Raitt, B.B. King, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty were among the performers. The concert raised more than $7 million for family farmers.
